Even Bananas Know The Truth



The other day when D’Prince of Mavin Records was asked for the inspiration behind his ‘take banana’ song and what banana meant, he told us that he had a friend who really liked banana – the fruit. He said she always made him buy her lots of it so it inspired him to write the song. Between us, we know that’s not the truth, not even close to the truth. If he had a friend who actually liked banana which inspired the song, we already know it’s not the fruity banana, it’s the other one *winks*

Before Dagrin died, he was interviewed about his Kondo/Condo song, where he got his inspiration and what condo/kondo meant. He told us that condo/kondo meant condition and successfully centered his explanation on the condition of living, bla bla but again we know that the truth was so far away, the truth was abroad in fact.

I’m quite sure (emphasis on quite) that if Tekno is asked about the cassava in his Pana song, he’d probably tell us it means love or something but just like the others, we know that’s going to be another big fat obvious lie.

This banana ain't smiling


What is it about these things that the truth can’t be told? If telling the truth is so difficult, why not you go for something defendable or damn the consequences and explain the real reason behind your inspiration. Oh, I remember we try to be so diplomatic that we decide not to say things as it is but it doesn’t mean we should say things as they’re not. You know how you don’t want to say the truth or lie either, yeah, like that, you just have to strike a balance.

How about telling us that banana is whatever we want it to be, so we can call it money, goals, whatever - balance achieved. Everybody is happy, rather than telling an obvious lie because to be very honest; even bananas know the truth, yeah, banana told me.

Who Says There Are No Pervs In Church?

Dear OTTH readers, how are we? I spent my weekend resting and going through dorisaniunoh.blogspot.com, you know as a writer, one shouldn't depend on themselves, so every now and then, I go through other blogs because not only do I learn a lot from them, they also inspire me to write something. I love reading from Doris' blog because like me, she writes real life stuff, something I could actually relate to not how Davido got robbed and the likes. I've been meaning to write about this in a while but procrastination won't let me but today I have bound the spirit hence here it is. I'm certain we all know who a perv is but just incase we don't, perv is the shortform for the word "pervert" and it refers to someone who's sexually obsessed according to Google and that's about what it means so I guess we all get the picture and we'd understand better as we proceed. I've always thought pastors would at least act like pastors no matter the tempt...

Na From Clap, Dance Dey Start

Good morning my loves, welcome to 2016. This is our first post this year so I’m supposed to be very excited but the issue I want to discuss is not one that gives room for such excitement. Of course, I’m excited that you can read this right now, that you came all the way from 2015 into 2016. It wasn’t an easy trip but we’re all here finally. Thank you so much for your love. Now to the business of the day. In a world of women and men, yes I put women first because I’m a woman just in case you were wondering why or maybe you didn’t even notice, the fate of a woman depends on the woman not the man and this is no merlin line. I’m really hurt right now and I’m too hurt to not speak up. I’m not a romantic person for reasons I don’t know but for some reason I’m grateful for it. I’m saying this because I’ve seen what people call love in action and it makes me wonder if it really is love. I’m not going to dispute the fact that I’ve also made my mistakes, I mean, we all have our stupid moments ...

The Hustle Of Many Colors

We are all "hustlers" before we become "chillers" whether we want to admit it or not. Some of us are in the corporate world, some on the streets, some in market places and some are in places I can't name. Some of us are dressed in suits, some in rags, some are dressed casually while some are dressed in clothes I can't even classify under any of the aforementioned categories. When I see people put up pictures saying "Lord bless my hustle" or "Oluwa bless my hustle", I just say 'amen' on behalf of whoever put up the picture. I'm very emotional right now because I've seen hustle at its peak. I remember entering a bus somewhere, I was the only passenger in the bus. The conductor did everything possible to get more passengers but all his efforts proved abortive. The driver then said "sorry aunty, we no dey go, we no see passenger" and I had to go with another bus. I could see the disappointment on his face, I wished...
